Tara Landon has never experienced love–even worse–she’s endured a lifetime of beatings. After reaching her breaking point, she decides to run away to start a new life without anyone pinning her down or holding her back. 

However, not far into her journey, she is intercepted by soon-to-be alpha Victor Bane, a brooding, mysterious, emerald-eyed man. The thought of him scares Tara as much as it arouses her. 

She doesn’t think much of the encounter until she learns that…oh, she’s destined to be Luna of Victor’s pack. The freedom she sought is quickly ripped away from her and she must make a decision: to accept or reject her fated mate.

“I have you for a lifetime, Tara. I can be patient,” he relayed with an erotic moan.

He looked me in the eyes, as I gestured for him to unbutton my blouse. I whispered, “You might be patient, Victor. But, it isn’t polite to keep a woman waiting.”

“What will it take for you to say yes?” he asked lustfully.

“Something you can’t give.”

“It’s not going to feel like anything you’ve experienced before,” Jack warned me, his eyes searching mine for any hint of reluctance. Or maybe it was hesitance, desertion or something else I couldn’t place. “Are you sure this is what you want?”


I looked up to him from where he held my hand. “I think the question of what I wanted was taken away from me a long time ago, to be honest.”


I laughed lightly, humorless, before I continued.


“As a kid, I wanted my mom, I wanted my dad. When you told me that I had had a brother, what I wanted more than anything was the chance to have met him. Or at least to have remembered him. At least I knew I had parents, but a brother…” I shook my head as I looked at him. “I didn’t even know him and yet, I hurt for him.”


Jack smiled lightly, his lips tight and worn. I felt his hand grip mine as he sighed out. “It’s better this way,” he promised. “Trust me.”


“What did it feel like?” I asked him.
